Who Reads Books by Politicians?

Boston Globe: “It’s a market that is as vast as the appetite for it is small: books written by politicians.”

“They fill the shelves at bookstores, they dominate the news coverage, and they pad the paychecks of politicians. But sales are often disappointing — and relatively few people seem to be actually reading them.”

Interestingly, the Washington Post recently examined how far readers actually made it into politicians’ books based on where material was highlighted while reading on a Kindle.
